GADS HlHi i 1 News Behind The News by Paul Malloq Washington, Oct. 1 War Pro ducer Donald Nelson thought a 25 per cent fuel oil cut for win ter would be enough. So did Oil Coordina tor Ickes, who certainly should know. But Mr. Leon H e n d e rson's OP A decided to deepen the cut to 33 1-3 per cent, there by nettling a lot of oil au thorities, and Paul Matlon creating some suspicion that he may be gambling with public health. This Is one of those things that no one in official position wants to talk about. Everyone outside, too, wants to cooperate to whatever extent is necessary. But it must be related, in truth to the facts, that the oil people here again suspect Mr. Henderson is suffering from a chronic rationing phobia. If Ickes and Nelson thought 125 per cent was enough, there " is no reason to suspect Mr. Hen derson has superior judgment or additional facts. Indeed, his an nouncement specified none. It offered no Justification, except the unbacked one that OPA did not believe 25 per cent would be enough. MO HEALTH authority in the government is going to come out and cay that waves of influenza and pneumonia may be promoted by such a drastic . cut, because no one wants to anticipate uncertain results.

BREAK TIE IN 8TH TO TAKE CONTEST Slaugter and Musial Couple Double and Single For Much Needed Score. By Lta H. Petersen (United Press Sports Editor) Sportsman's Park, St. Louis, Oct. 1. (U.R) The St. Louis siege guns came through in the eighth inning today to give the Cardinals a 4 to 3 victory over the New York Yankees and even the World series at one-all. Enos Slaughter and Stan Musial, the heart of the Card inal batting order, coupled a double and a single wth two out to break a tie the Bronx Bombers had achieved in their half of the eighth in a typical Yankee hitting spurt. Johnny Beazley. the National league rookie sensation bested Ernie (Tiny) Bonham but was in frequent trouble and poor Yankee base running averted disaster for the freshman star in the ninth.. Pitching before his mother and three high school classmates whom he had promised seats to the first World series game in which he pitched, Beazley had the Yankees shutout for seven innings and was coasting under a three-run lead, but he barely managed to finish. The first two Cardinal runs were due to a bad decision on Bonham's part.t - Tiny, whose control is one of his biggest as sets, walked Jimmy Brown, the St. Louis leadoff hitter in the first inning. He nicked ur Terry Moore's sacrifice bunt and elected to try for a forceout at second. But Brown beat his throw by a headlong slide. .

No One Getting Rich In Scrap Metal Drive - Headquarters, Camp White (Spl.V "No Individual or busi ness firm Is getting rich on scrap." This statement was made today by Major Lyman V. Wil liamson, Camp White salvage officer In charge of the Army scrap metal drive now in progress in Jackson county, In an swering a general misapprehension on the part of the general public regarding huge profits being made from the sale of the collected scrap metals. "I think It high time," said Major Williamson, "to scotch rumors that certain firms and individuals are profiteering in scrap. Every bit of metal scrap collected by the Army In this drive and by other governmental agencies In similar campaigns is sold to licensed scrap dealers and the money received is then turned back to the United States treasury," he explained.

By Harrison Salisbury United Press Correspondent The critical hour of the battle of Stalingrad appeared at hand today amid mounting indications that the Volga River traffic cen ter constitutes the final Nazi military objective in the East for 1942. Russian dispatches reported that masses of Nazi reinforce ments were being thrown into the battle, particularly in the northwestern sector where they were met by sharp Soviet coun terattacks.

Stalin tele phoned him personally as the Nazi attack Wat being launched and ordered that "all panic- mongers and cowards be elim inated.

A Norwegian government spokesman reported the Ger mans have arrested 1,400 per sons in Norwegian coastal areas as part of Nazi precautions against opening of a second front in that region. German reports laid heavy emphasis on the strength of Rus sian counterattacks, asserting that one Russian attack on the northern Stalingrad front was paced by 100 British and Amer ican tanks. Berlin insisted, now ever, that the Soviet blow was parried and that "98 out of 100" tanks were destroyed.
